I was a huge Santino fan, so was not objective. I liked all three of the collections. However, objectively speaking, Daniel had the best collection. Some of the outfits were amazing. Although it might have been because of his models :)

I find it telling that Ney was the only one who bothered to read (or have monitored) liberal blogs. Howw much of an echo chamber do these guys need? I'm a liberal, but I spend a fair amount of time on right wing (or conservative, or Republican) blogs, both because I like to engage in debate and because I like to see how people on the other side of the aisle from me frame their arguments.

I hope these guys aren't spending too much time on Malkin's blog. It would be nice to know that if they're going to visit these sites, they could at least visit the thoughtful ones. I mean really, Little Green Footballs?

This post is almost perfectly Althousian - on discovering a member of Congress reads your blog, what's the first thing that comes to mind? A question on what they think about the latest pop culture zeitgeist. :p

Well, in one of his last acts as House Admin chair, Ney held a hearing on campaign finance reform and the Internet at which Duncan Black (Eschaton) and Mike Krempasky (RedState) appeared, and to which Markos Moultisas (Daily Kos) was invited, but unable to attend.

FYI to all you it getters, Ney, in September when he used to head the Committee on House Administration, was looking into regulating internet speech, i.e. bloggers. At that time, lots of bloggers left and right got together to testify. In fact, even Atrios has acknowledged that Bob Ney is his bff (and actually seemed informed.)

I suspect that's why Ney has more than just Trent Frank's list of kool-aid blogs on his list.

It's not that they aren't spending enough money, it's WHERE they are spending it.

They are building hospitals in Iraq, but the nearest hospital to me has been shut down for several years. Then last year, the healthcare clinic in my small town shut down. My wife needs surgery, and they can't find enough beds in the cities until more than two months after she first had an 'emergency' surgery to stop the bleeding (she had required five pints of blood) at the closest rural hospital and the doctor said, 'right away,' on the major surgery, so it takes two months.

It's nice to know the government is spending so much borrowed money, but they sure aren't spending it where it's needed. I would be nice to have a government that took care of business at home first instead of spending it overseas.

Yes, Little Green Footballs. I hardly ever read Kos, largely because of the tone of the commenters. That doesn't make LGF any more palatable. You remind me of the people who say "What about Clinton?" every time someone criticizes Bush.

My point was that all but one of the Congressmen listed read only right wing blogs. I think you can read plenty of right wing stuff, but reading LGF when you won't bother to check out Talking Points Memo or Washington Monthly or Steve Clemons is an indication of a very closed mind.
